The kbuild test robot reports that when building with W=1, GCC will warn for a couple of missing prototypes in syscall.c: | arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:157:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'do_el0_svc' [-Wmissing-prototypes] | 157 | void do_el0_svc(struct pt_regs *regs) | | ^~~~~~~~~~ | arch/arm64/kernel/syscall.c:164:6: warning: no previous prototype for 'do_el0_svc_compat' [-Wmissing-prototypes] | 164 | void do_el0_svc_compat(struct pt_regs *regs) | | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While this isn't a functional problem, as a general policy we should include the prototype for functions wherever possible to catch any accidental divergence between the prototype and implementation. Here we can easily include <asm/exception.h>, so let's do so. While there are a number of warnings elsewhere and some warnings enabled under W=1 are of questionable benefit, this change helps to make the code more robust as it evolved and reduces the noise somewhat, so it seems worthwhile.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
